Starting seedlings question

Hey guys, the place I plan to start my seedlings does not have access to electricity so I cannot use artificial light to get my seedlings started. My question is, will my seedlings work out just in a windowsill with natural sunlight? I want to get them about 6" or so before I transplant outside, will this work using this method of the windowsill/natural light? I do plan to harden to plants overtime, taking them outside every few days, increasing the time over time. Will this work out for me?
Thanks

The dome is good right at first, the humidity promotes root development. And i make sure to kinda ease them out of the 100% humidity enviroment they're in while under a dome by cracking it a little bit at a time before just removing the dome. If u r growing outside and dont have to worry about strech then the window sill should work it did for me but one of my plants in particular had more than a foot of bare stem at the bottom of it when mature.

Awesome, that's kinda what I planned to do using the dome. Might do a little experiment, 3 with dome, 3 without.
